  • It's no secret I use TOOL MOD a lot in my builds. Here's an in-depth tutorial on the most common ways I use this amazing mod. This is definitely more for intermediate to advanced builders, but for beginners who want to step up their build skills, make sure you give TOOL Mod a go!

    Hey Megg, great tutorial! A few quick notes:
    Objects have "bones" called rigs, but some don't. If they don't, they can't be rotated on the other 2 axes. Nothing we can do other than wish EA hadn't made them that way.
    Alt+shift click will clone any objects you have selected.
    Sometimes people, including me, get into a rut of using gravity pull (alt click) way too much, a tip I recommend is to regular click as close as you can to where you want it, then do the gravity pull for the last few adjustments. Saves your mouse button 😉
    Also just in case you haven't figured it out yet, you can alt+click other objects to add them to the group, and the rotate around center option allows you to rotate the group as if they were one object.

      Thanks so much for your reply! And for your explanation about the live edit objects, makes a lot of sense!
      Ah yep I totally forgot to mention cloning and editing a group of objects, might need to make a part 2 😊 Love your work!

    I don't get it cuz every single time I try to use tool, I'll select my object, click move or rotate or whatever, put in the number, hot okay, then the object is gone. Happens every single time, to every single object. And it does it whether I move something .1 or 100...I don't know how to fix this...

  • @craftavenuecreations4931

    Would this completely replace the need for the OSMP red shelf? I can’t ever get that to work for me. Trying to think
    if there’s something that it might do that TOOL wouldn’t.

    HEYYYY I know this video is kind of old-ish, but I just recently found about the mod and I haven't seen anyone else mention this, but I put the mod how it was instructed to in my mods folder and then I open the game, then it does the usual loading screen and when it's supposed to show the main menu screen, it's just a white screen with the music in the background and I cannot close the game- it only fixes after I remove the mod. Any recommendations ??
